Data Visualizers

Scientists, park managers, and others must be able to “see” data collected from dynamic ecosystems. Visualizing data that are collected over time—sometimes decades—is one way to do this. Displaying data using maps, charts, and graphs helps people identify and understand relationships between and among landscapes, climate, and natural resources. These data visualizers complement the scientific reports that result from our long-term monitoring program.
